Abstract

A 19-month old male patient developed mutiple, firm, plum-colored, finger tip to chestnut sized nodules on the left cheek, right preauricular area, both elbow joints, and right wrist. On physical examination, a right cervical lymph node was palpable. Histology from one of the nodules revealed a diffuse infiltration of atypical, hyperchromatic, polymorphous lymphocytes in the dermis and subrutaneous fat. Bone marow aspiration, chest X-ray, ultrasonogram, and computerized tomogram were performed revealing bone marrow and lymph node involvement. The patient was treated with a POG @8617 schedule. Skin lesions markedly improved after one cycle regimen. We present a case of diffuse, ponrly differentiated, malignant lymphocytic lymphoma in the early childhood.
